rigth. variable problems are often related to the wire between your home and the very next main plug (some yards), specially if it's out side and weather is raining or was recently
Perhaps in some cases but not in all. I needed 6 phones in the house and there were not enough paired linest to cater for this and the telco installed 1/2 kilometre of new wiring to be able to give me those 6 phone lines. So, in terms of how old these 1/2 km of lines are, they are 'brand new' according to the telco (copper wires deteriorate by developing microscopic fractures in the copper but anything less than 30 years old is considered "new".) Since that time when the lines were installed I lost the need for all but one phone and it is with these lines that the "local boys" have been "playing around with" to give me crap thruput - until the last "new Australian" techo.
in France such default are repaired for free (if you manage to make the tech come ;-()
As I said, here one does not pay for any 'repairs' if the fault is not caused by anything within your house and between the house and the telegraph pole (which happens to sit in the corner of our backyard). And with the progress of the modern society and, of course, the privatisation of the telco some years ago, it now may take some 10 days to get an outsourced techo to come out and repair a problem whereas before, when the telco was still publicly owned, and not making huge profits for the private sector yobs, getting a fault repaired would take only a day, or 2 at the very latest.
